Today I would like to highlight the issue of how some people
with vested interest are taking advantage of youth by channelizing their mind
and body in a particular direction. At that young age, in many countries, the
mind and thoughts of young generation - vulnerable as they are, are not under
their own control. Not having the ability to clearly differentiate the right
from wrong and with thoughts of idealism and ideals filling every corner of
their brain, they are the easiest lot to be brainwashed. They are not allowed to
think freely and history is painted in a gory way to them.
Below few lines is an effort against this practice towards
reducing rage and violence from our beautiful earth.
On a road less traveled,
Treacherous,
steep, winding up high
(They) Have trudged hand in hand
Destination was never nigh.
Those hearts that beat to the same rhythm,
Red blood
coursing through veins,
The feelings are so alike,
In elation
or in pain.
Syria, Palestine and Kashmir
Boiling in
rage and ire,
Only loving embrace of brotherhood
Can save our dear earth from pyre.
Mistakes committed in history,
Should not
pronounce the future,
Sensible mind
and healing touch
Can only aspire a
bright pasture.
No poisoning the mind
of our children,
In the name of
religion and the Lord,
There must be a way to persuade
And exchange a hug
for the sword.
